I commend this report to you and thank you on behalf of your staff for your ongoing support. Yours sincerely Helen Minnican Clerk of the Legislative Assembly Annual Report 2016/17 Page 2 16 17 Speaker’s Foreword Members’ electorate offices are at the core of their representative role as a place to facilitate their service to local communities. Electorate offices are just one fundamental point of difference with our colleagues in the Legislative Council. Accordingly, electorate offices and their resourcing is a primary focus of the administration of the Legislative Assembly. With 98 offices across the state, our administration team is often met with challenges and are expected to act swiftly and professionally. One example of the professionalism shown by the Assembly’s Electorate Office Services is their action in response to the flooding of the Lismore electorate office following Cyclone Debbie on 28 March 2017. Emergency repairs were able to be completed within three weeks to enable the Member and his staff to re-open the electorate office and serve his constituents with a functioning office, whilst the more substantial refurbishment works were completed. Two personal highlights for me were the opening of a Parents’ Room and the women in Parliament exhibition A‘ Fit Place for Women - NSW Parliament’. Many Members and staff have young children. To provide supplementary support to their regular level of child care a new Parents’ Room was commissioned. It was opened on 11 May 2017 and has a range of facilities for use by both Members and staff and is one of the many initiatives of the Parliament to encourage the entry of more female Members. To commemorate a century of the involvement of women in New South Wales politics as campaigners, protestors, voters, parliamentary officers, Members, Ministers and Premiers the Parliament held an exhibition celebrating women in Parliament. At its centre was Millicent Preston Stanley, being the first female member of the Legislative Assembly. As part of the commemorations the Legislative Assembly Chamber played host to a re-enactment of the introduction of Millicent’s Guardianship of Infants Bill debated on 2 November 1926. Two publications have also been produced to acknowledge the development of female representation in our State, and a new space within the Parliament has been dedicated in honour of Millicent. The sittings of the Assembly and the work of parliamentary committees are key functions, as they are for all Parliaments. The Assembly conducted lengthy and important debates on a number of significant bills, commemorative motions and other topics. Assembly Committees continue to conduct inquiries into important and topical issues. In 2016/17 these included the point-to-point transport industry and short-term holiday lettings. As a part of the Assembly’s digital strategy, in May 2017, Committee Chairs commenced a trial of announcing committee inquiries on the Parliament’s YouTube channel. I also wish to draw the attention of Members to the ongoing work of the Legislative Assembly’s Standing Committee on Parliamentary Privilege and Ethics. It has been given a remit to review the Members’ Code of Conduct and Register of Pecuniary Interests. The committee is continuing its work by consulting widely with key stakeholders and has taken a considered approach to identifying all the issues and to undertake a thorough analysis of those issues. Six by-elections were conducted during 2016/17. One of those was under heart-breaking circumstances. Kathy Smith, the former Member for Gosford, resigned her seat on 14 February 2017 due to illness. Tragically, Kathy lost her battle with cancer on 31 May 2017. All Members and staff were saddened by her death and on behalf of the Legisaltive Assembly I extend our thoughts to her family. Finally, in February, I was very pleased to announce the appointment of Helen Minnican as Clerk of the Legislative Assembly. Since her appointment, Helen constantly gives an exceptional level of dedication to her role, providing wise and impartial counsel to Members, administering the Department of the Legislative Assembly and overseeing the proceedings of the House. I was also pleased to appoint Leslie Gonye as Deputy Clerk. Les’s credentials are not only recognised by all Members but by his peers with his election to the position of Vice President of the Australia New Zealand Association of Clerks-at-the-Table. The Hon.

  • Stephen Bali Inaugural Speech.Pdf
    Inaugural Speeches Inaugural Speeches Extract from NSW Legislative Assembly Hansard and Papers Tuesday 21 November 2017. Mr STEPHEN BALI (Blacktown) (16:36): Parliamentary colleagues, distinguished guests and my dear family. I acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora nation and I pay my respects to elders past and present for their custodianship of the land on which we meet. I also acknowledge the Dharug people whose ancestors walked the Blacktown electorate. It is an incredible honour and a humbling experience to address this historic Chamber, the oldest Parliament of Australia, and to represent the needs and aspirations of the people of Blacktown. To do so as the son of a refugee says much about the equality and opportunity of Australian society. I recognise in the gallery the Ambassador to Hungary, His Excellency Dr Attila Gruber, and the Polish Consul General, Ms Regina Jurkowska. My family story has much in common with many of the constituents of Blacktown, and indeed with many members of this Chamber. My parents came to Australia by boat as refugees after the 1956 Hungarian communist revolution. My father, Karoly—known as Charlie—was 20 years old and learnt English on the boat. My mother, Eva, was a teenager accompanying her family who were settling in Melbourne. My father travelled the countryside, working wherever he got a job. They met and married in 1959 and moved to a house in Doonside, which was the home of my Aunt Gizi. When Gizi returned to Hungary my parents took over the mortgage on the fibro house, which is still my mother's home today.

  • Inaugural Speech of the Honourable Ben Franklin
    INAUGURAL SPEECH OF THE HONOURABLE BEN FRANKLIN The Hon. BEN FRANKLIN [3.36 p.m.] (Inaugural Speech): Today I speak in the Address- in-Reply debate to the Governor's Speech formally opening the Fifty-sixth Parliament of New South Wales. I do so noting that we are meeting today on the traditional lands of the Gadigal people. I acknowledge them as custodians and traditional owners of this land and I extend my respect to their elders, past and present. Mr President, in the Governor's address last week he implored us to: ... remember that [we] are here to speak for [our] community and it is their interests that come first. Although we will be on differing sides of many debates, as long as we diligently seek to honestly reflect the wishes of our communities every one of us will have fulfilled that role. I stand here as a passionate advocate for representative democracy and I believe that the many and varied voices that sit here in this Chamber are an absolute validation of that ideal. I am particularly delighted to be entering this place with three good friends from three different parties: Scott Farlow, a former work colleague and now great mate who is one of the most decent and honourable people I know; the irrepressible Bronnie Taylor who is clearly The Nationals yin to my yang; and Courtney Houssos, who, along with her husband, George, has been a good friend for many years—although that friendship was not quite strong enough to stop The Nationals smiting Country Labor from the electoral landscape at this election and many more to come.

  • I Care for Palliative Care. Our Stories
    I Care for Palliative Care. Our stories. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this document contains images and names of people who have passed away. Our goal. Our goal is to ensure that every person with a life-limiting cancer who needs specialist palliative care has access to it, when they need it, wherever they live in NSW. The NSW Government can help achieve this by providing funding for: • 10 additional full time palliative physicians, at a minimum • 129 extra full time palliative care nurses • Culturally appropriate specialist palliative care services for Aboriginal people For more information on our I Care for Palliative Care campaign visit canact.com.au/palliative_care Cancer Council NSW 1 From the CEO When our loved ones are diagnosed with a terminal illness they deserve the best possible care and support. Palliative care gives patients and their families the quality time they need to make the most of the life that they have left. It enables them to have positive conversations about where and when they would like to die, when that time comes. But, right now, that’s not always possible. It doesn’t happen because there’s a shortage of specialist palliative care services across NSW. There aren’t enough palliative care doctors and nurses to meet the needs of the community and many Aboriginal people are unable to access culturally appropriate palliative care. I know how important this issue is to the community, and how further action from the NSW Government would be welcomed. Patients, families, doctors and nurses, have begun sharing their personal and professional experiences of palliative care.
